Enlightening: Letters 1946 - 1960
Isaiah Berlin
Takes up the story of the author when, after war service in the United States, he returns to life as an Oxford don. This title charts years of academic frustration and self-doubt, the intellectual explosion when he moves from philosophy to the history of ideas, his growing national fame as broadcaster and lecturer.
